With this app, I see lots of "wine whatever.exe" processes, so I just took the sum of them. > I doubt Wine scales well to large numbers of threads or fd's.

As I'm not getting very far with this OLE deadlock, I think I'll look at these patches next. thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center
